An effective adsorbent towards fluoroquinolone antibiotics was synthesized via a facile two-step approach, the co-precipitation of Fe, Mn with vinasse wastes and then pyrolysis under controlled conditions which denoted as FMB. Its adsorption behavior was examined based on a batch adsorption experiment of fluoroquinolone antibiotics pefloxacin (PEF) and ciprofloxacin (CIP). Experimental factors, such as pH, adsorbent dose, ionic strength, contact time and temperature have done a great deal to influence the adsorption of PEF and CIP. The FMB demonstrated excellent performance in reusability test...
